Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to participate to
The 19th European Meeting on Environmental Chemistry (EMEC 19)
that will be held at Royat, near Clermont-Ferrand (France), from 3rd to 6th December 2018
https://emec19.sciencesconf.org/
The conference is organized by the Institute of Chemistry of Clermont-Ferrand (ICCF) from the Clermont Auvergne University / CNRS / Sigma-Clermont, on behalf of the Association of Chemistry and the Environment (ACE).
Topics:
EMEC meetings bring together scientists working in the field of environmental chemistry, to report their most advanced research progresses and to pave the way for the future research and challenges. This conference covers a broad range of topics within the field of environmental chemistry:
Sustainable chemistry (new compounds, green processes)
Environmental compartments (Atmosphere, Soils, Marine and surface waters) with focuses on monitoring, processes (biological and chemical), remediation and ecotoxicology
Methodology and modeling
Interdisciplinary presentations are very welcome.
We look forward to seeing you in Royat!
Best Regards,
Vanessa PREVOT, on behalf the organizing comittee of EMEC 19 conference

Addition of titanium dioxide (TiO2) (nano)particles into photocatalytic paints represents a promising alternative aiming to mineralize gaseous pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into innocuous species (H2O and CO2). Despite important industrial and economic benefits, some concerns were raised regarding the risks associated with nano-objects and their human and environmental impacts.
Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are widely used as biocides, leading to contamination of the environment and possible adverse effects on humans. Recent studies revealed that the cellular response to acute exposure to Ag-NPs differs from the response to chronic exposure, although we currently lack systematic studies comparing responses to different dosing regimens.
Indoor aquatic mesocosms are increasingly used in nanosafety to assess the behavior, fate, and impacts of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in aquatic environments using relevant exposure scenarios.
In recent years, nanotechnologies have led to undeniable progress in any domains, such as electronics, materials and medicine. Despite the benefits of such a technology, a careful assessment of the potential risks for Human and Environmental health have to be studied. Assessing exposure and hazard to nanomaterials is a major challenge in the field of environmental sciences.
